Color is the only real difference: Riverbed is a cool blue-gray mix, Brown Riverbed is a warm brown blend — both are the same smooth, rounded river stone, in matching ⅜-inch and ¾-inch sizes. They behave identically too: gentle underfoot, great in visible beds and borders, and prone to migrating unless the area is edged. Choose whichever tone flatters your house, and the stone does the rest.

Natural stone varies a bit from load to load and from photos — normal, not a defect. Compare Riverbed ⅜" and Brown Riverbed ⅜", and size your beds with the material calculator.
